Rodgers lamented his 'thin' squad earlier this season and he has been forced to rely upon a string of previously untested Academy products, such as Suso, Raheem Sterling and Andre Wisdom.

Although these youngsters have performed admirably this term, the Northern Irishman does intend to delve into the transfer market - although he insists he will not be making "wholesale" alterations to his squad in six weeks' time.

"We've got a number of targets that we'll look at and see what evolves," said Rodgers.

"We'll see if we can get one or two things done like everyone else, but there won't be wholesale changes. We'll see if we can improve the group in some of the areas we need to."

Rodgers did not reveal which players he has set his sights on, but recent reports have suggested he will attempt to sign Blackpool's Tom Ince and Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge.
